To ft/, whom it 'litri/y concern:

Be it known that i, Bisi-ier C. Cireuse, a citizen of the United States, residing" atYork, in the county-o1Ll Yori; and State oi' Penney!! Vania7 have invented a new and useful Guspidor, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to cuspidors, and relates more particularly to that type of cuspidors in which the receptacle is provided with a removable lining of paper or other similar vvaterprooi` material which is intended to be discarded and replaced by other lining' from time to time. y

The object of the invention is to provide an improved form oi'euspidor of the type mentioned in which means is provided for holding the lining securely in position within the outer shell of the cuspidor and an improved form of lining is employed.

A further object of the invention is to provide a 'removable cover oi paper or similar' material which may be discarded with the lining and to provide improved means for holding the cover in proper position upon the eusm pidor.

In describing the invention reference will be had rto the accompanyingt'lrawings, in which a preferred form of embodiment of the invention isvillustrated, it being understood that changes in the forni, proportions, and mode oi assemblage of the elements may be made Within the scope of the appended .claims without departing from the spirit of the invention or sacriiieing its advantages.

ln the drawings, Figure l is spective of the complete cuspidor.

a View in per- Fig. 2. is

a view in vertical section through the conlplete cuspidor. Fig". Bis a plan View of the blank from which thcr lining,lr is formed.

Referring to the drawings, in which coi-ref spending parts are designated by similar characters of reference throughout, l designates the receptacle portion of the cnspidor. The receptacle portion 1 is preferably polygonal I in cross-section, being shown in the present instance as hexagonal, and is preferably made of sheet metal o r other inexpensive and serviceable material which maybe easily brought in to the desired shape bystamping or other@1 wise, v

The receptacle portion 1 of the cuspidor is, designed, primarily, to afordasupport for the Waterproof lining. 2, preferably Aof suitably- Y treated papenand made by folding a blanket` substantially circular outline, as Shown in Fig.

3. The lining 2 is folded along the lines 4f,

defining a polygon of the same contour as ther outersurface of the receptacle, asshown in In order to 'retain' thelining imposition andV prevent accidental' displacement thereof in ring 6 is provided to it over the top of the receptacle portion of the cuspidor andhold the ymargin of the lining bent downward over the rim of said receptacle portion. The retentionring comprises a portion 7, which veneircles the receptacle portion of the cuspidor and an" inWardly-disposed flange-8, which rests upon the rim of the receptacle portion of, the cuspidor. The retention-ring may beformedof any suitable material, but will preferably oe made oi'. thin sheet metal similar to that employed in constructingr the receptacle portion 1 of the cuspidor.

The cover for the cuspidor will be made of paper of suitable character when Suppliedin its preferred form-and will be lmade in the form oi' a wide cone. generally 9) is of substantially the same diameter as the retention-ring 6 and is, provided at the center with an opening 10 for the The passage of material into the cuspidor.

7o case the cuspidor is overturned, a` retention- The cover (designated v cover 9 is placed in position upon the reten? tion-ring 6 andis secured thereon by a retentien-ring l2, similar in construction to theretention-ring 6, but suiiicentiy large to be iitted over the cover and the ring' 6.

The complete cuspidor is of a very iight easily transportable structure, but is Well adapted to all the purposes Jfor which a eus- 6, the rimand broughtinto eo'ntact withthe. 1

pidor is designed,.and the several parts are so connected that accidental displacement of one or more of them is entirely obviated, but theirI invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1-. The combinationin a cuspidor of a receptacle of stiff material, .a lining of foldable sheet materiel disposed within said receptacle and having'the marginal por-tion thereof bent outward over the rim of the receptacle, and a detachable retention-ring fitted over the 'top of the receptacle portion and the marginal portion of the lining.

2. The'oombination in a ouspidor of a receptacle portion of sti material, a lining ofi'old.- able sheet material disposed within said .recep- .tacle portion and having the marginal portion thereof bent over the rim of the receptacle portion of the cuspidor, and a retention-ring having an inwardly-disposed ange to rest upon the rim of the cuspidor when the retention-ring is fitted over the top thereof.

3. The combination in aciispidor of a receptacle portion, a cover for said receptacle portion, and a retainer for said cover consisting of a ring adapted to be fitted over said receptacle portion and having an inwardly-disposed flange adapted to rest'upon said cover and hold it in position.

4. The combination in a cuspidor of a recep-v tacle portion of stiff material, a removable liningv having the marginal portion thereof bent over the'rim of the receptacle 'portion` a retention-ring for said lining fitted over' the top I of the receptacle portion, a removable cover, and a retention-ring forsaid cover htted over the retention-ring for the lining. A i l 5. The combination in a cuspidor of a recep' tacleportion of stiff material, a removable lining disposed Within the receptaclea detachable retention ring engaging the lining, a cover resting on said retention-ring, and a second retention-ring engaging the cover.

In testimony that I Claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto aiiixed my signature in the 'presence of two witnesses.A
